ICM Global South Translation Fellowships in USA 2022
The Institute for Comparative Modernities (ICM) at Cornell University is accepting applications for the ICM Global South Translation Fellowships in the United States in 2022.
The ICM examines the modern’s international breadth in its many articulations with capitalism and colonialism, as well as their legacies.
It supports the study of artistic, intellectual, and social movements associated with modern forms, with a focus on developments beyond the historical West.
An investigation of epistemologies and paradigms arising from civilizations and regions beyond the West is critical to the ICM’s goal.
Worth of Award
- A grant of up to $5,000 is available from Cornell University towards the completion of translations of works from the Global South (Africa, Asia, Latin America, the Caribbean, and so on) into English.
- This is a remote, non-resident fellowship that allows the recipient to do the work outside of the institution.
- Depending on the nature of the project, the rewards will vary from $1, 000 to $5,000.
Retranslations of ancient, classic books, as well as previously untranslated works, collections of poetry, prose, or critical theory, may be included.
